The
ThinkPad Yoga has been around for some time, as a business focused version of
the Yoga family, but Lenovo is launching the X1 Yoga today which takes the Yoga
series to the next level. It is the first convertible device being launched
with an OLED display. We’ve seen these displays
predominately on smartphones, with the occasional tablet as well, but it’s now made its way to the laptop form factor.
Lenovo is using a Samsung OLED as the optional
panel, and it’s a 14-inch 2560x1440
version. Samsung is the market leader in OLED technology, so it makes a lot of
sense that they would turn to them for this display.
Price:
ThinkPad
X1 Yoga will be available starting January from $1,449 (approx Rs 96,300). OLED
models will be available from April onwards and pricing for the same will be
revealed then. ThinkPad X1 Carbon will be available starting February from
$1,299 (approx Rs 86,300).
Specification :
The
X1 Yoga’s spill-resistant keys and
trackpoint retract into the base when the display is rotated around, to improve
the ergonomics when used in tablet mode.

Yoga features a 14-inch 2560×1440 pixel display, 6th
generation Intel Core i7 Pro series processor along with Intel HD 520 graphics,
